| GENE_SYMBOL | NKX2-2 |
| GENE NAME | NK2 homeobox 2 |
| SYNONYMNS | NKX2B,NKX2.2 |
| CHROMOSOME | 20 |
| HOMOLOGENE ID | 1879 |
| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| The protein encoded by this gene contains a homeobox domain and may be involved in the morphogenesis of the central nervous system. This gene is found on chromosome 20 near NKX2-4, and these two genes appear to be duplicated on chromosome 14 in the form of TITF1 and NKX2-8. The encoded protein is likely to be a nuclear transcription factor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
